| Cool hike to a great view. The easiest 6000m peak in the world? 4-5 hours from Paso San Francisco, no snow, terrific winds. I climbed alone. Start early, winds seemed to abate before and at dawn when I was there. | |

| Griselda MORENO, Anibal MATURANO and I, Bruno BASCHUNG made the ascent of san Francisco on the 22.02.06 via the normal route. We started from alt. 5130m GPS, much higher than the pass. A track can be followed quite high. Rough driving with 4wd, but it saves some time... 5hr to summit. GPS alt 6040m Bruno BASCHUNG | ||

| I summited together with gnome and the other five members of our expedition. San Francisco is one of the easiest accessible 6000m peaks in the Andes. If acclimatized, it can be climbed from the paved (in Argentina) road at the Paso San Francisco within one day. From the summit one has maybe the best view in the area, because all the high volcanoes of the vicinity are visible and the colorfull Incahuasi is extremly close. | |

| Climbed with Fernando Affentranger's expedition (Franco, Guillermo, Seba, Robert, Andy, Fernando and I) as an acclimatization peak after 4 days in altitude (Refugio las Grutas). Summit in 6h30 via Normal Route (from Paso de San Francisco). Strong cold before sunrise. Easy walk and obvious path from bottom to top. Expect wind during the long traverse. Altitude read on 2 different GPS at the summit : 6040 meters. Amazing views over tons of 6000 summits... | |
